I just caught some various Pokemon, today's swarm Pokemon, and some legends, and did some trades.

First I caught a Cinccino, Ditto, Combee, Sunkern, Heracross, Pinsir, Rapidash, Dunsparce, and a lot more. Just some non-unova Pokemon on East Unova.

I then traded the Ditto and Cinccino I caught to trade for Rotom and Munchlax.

I then caught Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion.

Then, My friend traded me her Tornadus to get Landorus. Then I caught Landorus. She also said I can keep the Tornadus. YAY!!!!!!!

and finally, I trained a lot.

My team before was just Emboar, Simisage, Unfeazant, Eelektross, Chandelure, and Zekrom.

That is not the right amount of games for over-achiever. Read the requirements again. It includes spin offs, extra copies of main games if you have some, any ROMs you may have, and hacks you may have. If you don't have any of that, it's kind of cheating to enter the hardest mode without the requirements. So I'm going to sign you up as standard. Sorry.

Got around to playing yesterday. I wanted to make a lot of progress, but didn't. I got strangely tired and took a nap. Then later when I tried to play, I felt sick and had a headache. So I just quit playing games and went on to bed. I got some stuff done though, I suppose. My team was around level 22 when I started up and I beat up Misty with one Pokemon and a jar full of luck, I suppose. Then I eventually did part of SS Anne, left to heal, then did that route next to Diglett's Cave. But that's the point I was feeling sick so I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. Shame. :(

This time for my challenge, I pretty much just worked on levelling up Pokémon for my Pokédex. I spent a lot of time at my the start organising my boxes so it'd be easy to use them later. I then evolved Weepinbel with a Leaf Stone. I then evolved Cubone and Rattata. And then did some other errands.

I did something...I DID SOMETHING!?!?!?!?! I played one of my least favorite games almost ALL day.

Game: Diamond
Player: Denitra
Badges: 5 (start) 6 (end)

I started in Iron Island, which I've probably been in there like...a year. So I got through it, got my Riolu egg, beat up Byron, did Galactic stuff, and eventually, but painstakingly made it to Snowpoint. I'm in the gym now, but it's annoying, so I've had enough of the crap factor. Done with that. Not much level gaining, except for the Riolu.

Today I had Ruby, which I had just signed up for a monocolor challenge on the night before I noticed. So I started that, which I think kind of overrides the "don't restart" rule since I didn't even notice it was my next game and was planning on doing so anyway. But I'm just gonna cp my update from the monocolor thread into this one. So yeah! Though it doesn't have my progress clearly listed, I basically did everything from beginning to Fallarbor. I'm currently grinding up a Swablu.

Aqua Grunt Alice knows deep down that what she's fighting for is wrong, but felt compelled to join from family pressures. Her parents were ex-Rocket Grunts, and some estranged family members were a part of Team Magma. Aside from that, it was the only way she would be able to leave the house and fulfill her real dream-- to collect the 8 badges of Hoenn and meet the legendary Pokemon that roams the region. The Pokemon offered by Team Aqua weren't quite up to par with her standards, and she has taken a liking to blue Pokemon. To enter gyms with her blue themed team, she disguises herself in red. She often has had to disarm Team Magma, while in both disguise and uniform, as well. Even though she's not fond of her job, at least she can say she's doing it better than her fellow grunts.

I had all the badges already and didn't feel like catching anything, so I mostly just wandered around Johto aimlessly. Then I remembered I had an unevolved Shinx in the PC, so I decided to train him (with some help from Dialga and Typhlosion). I got excited when Nurse Joy told me my team had Pokerus, but then remembered that my Linoone had it when I traded him from Diamond, so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, I didn't do much.

First, I decided to check and see if I had Kyurem yet, since I would go out and catch it if I didn't. But I was momentarily distracted by admiring my shiny collection. I discovered that I did not have Kyurem, so off I went to ~~enslave~~ befriend it! Got hideously lost in Giant Chasm and wasted a bunch of Max Repels. Finally activated the freezeover or whatever, and went in to battle Kyurem. Emolga paralyzed it, but then it one-shotted her with Glaciate. Sent in my Emboar while shouting "Did somebody order a LARGE HAM?". Weakened Kyurem and caught it with a Great Ball. Didn't take too long, surprisingly. Spent the rest of the time training. Also caught a random Metagross. Welcome to the family, Remnant and SpiderTank!

Ah, a game that I downloaded and then never played! Our heroine AKANE lives in ELF'S WORLD, and has been asked by DR. WUSIJI to run an errand for him! Or something! She chose ~~Cyndaquil~~ RIDED because she wanted to change fired elf into "a big wind of fire". She thought that sounded way cooler than water elf little crocodile (CROC) or grass elf qige leader may like (QIAOK). She then set off on her journey, meeting such exciting characters as ELF GRANDFATHER and a red-haired young boy with a suspiciously familiar-looking CROC. It turns out he stole CROC, so AKANE had to report him to the police! He never gave her his name, though, so she just gave the officer a confused look when he asked for it. The officer wrote down ??? as the boy's name.

AKANE then officially left on her journey to become a coach. Realizing that RIDED alone wouldn't be enough to help her, she then caught a ~~Poliwag~~ NILEM, a ~~Gastly~~ GES, and a ~~Bellsprout~~ MADAQ. They were all much weaker than RIDED, though, so she set off to do a little late-night training. Whilst training GES, she found a ~~Spinarak~~ ROUY of a most unusual color! Entranced by the strange way it glittered in the moonlight, she threw a HUGEBALL and hoped for the best. The weird ROUY was grasped, and AKANE spent the next several minutes staring at her new elf, almost in shock.

LillithSilver · Jul 27, 2012

A quick question:

Are you allowed to play games that you're doing other challenges on? If so, I might do this...

Sydian · Jul 27, 2012

Yes, it's fine. You don't restart when you play them. I addressed that in the rules and explanation of the challenge, lol.

So I started my Platinum part at the Trophy Garden where I spent sometime finding the daily Pokémon there, in this case it was Meowth and Castform. After they were caught I went and caught today's swarm Pokémon, Delibird. After all of that was done, I went to the Fight Area and then for the first time in the game, I went to the Resort Area, catching some of the Pokémon such as Wailord in the process. I then spent the rest of the time earning money to buy stuff for my Villa in the Resort Area.

So yeah, I was lost in Victory Road, I found my way out and went to heal and teach some TMs, then went to redo Victory Road, made it out the correct way, grinded for 5 minutes, complained about my GBA, said "**** grinding", bought things, saved, switched to SP, and blew everyone up. I was at least 10 levels under or more and it was the easiest E4 and Champion ever. Why was that hard as a kid? Oh, whatever. And when I thought I was done I found out that Ur Mom was the REAL champion. Oh. MAN. Easy peasy. Pikachu sucks.

Next in line was Silver...as I turned on the game, I realized I could no longer play as TREVOR anymore. I had the option for a new game. RIP Silver. :( I'm going to get a battery and have a friend replace it for me though, so it'll be back. However, I'm going to move Silver to the back of my list, behind Black 2. I could use the ROM, but I don't feel like busting out another laptop just to play it, and idk if my PC can handle running ROMs at the moment. I don't want it off my list, though. So I'm just pushing it back.

So here's the new one, although it's not really different. I just moved Silver to the back and kept everything else in place.

TRUST ME. I would rather be playing Silver than freaking LeafGreen lmao. I'll update that later. But yeah, I hope none of y'all are mad at me for changing it. :(

I grinded my team...half of them were below 40. I also grinded for money to buy a Thunderbolt TM for Starmie, though Zapdos needs one too. But I didn't plan on using it till the rest of the team caught up to it anyway, so eh. That didn't even happen. I also evolved Rhyhorn and Clefairy. Good stuff. And then after grinding, I completed Silph Co and called it quits.

I bought a Game Boy Color today, which is fitting because I had Crystal today. Weirdly though, it made me reset the time when I started playing. It didn't die, but yeah. Anyone know what that means btw? :( I hope it's not kicking the bucket soon. I mean, I just lost Silver. Anyway, I grinded levels a lot today, mainly on Norway V (wtf does this name mean?) and Ruby Mace. Couldn't get her to evolve, but I somehow lucked out and got a Leaf Stone, so that got used. Yup. Also bred an Eevee egg because I want a Jolteon, but due to GSC's crappy TMs and TM placement in general, I would be going through almost the whole game with a STABless Jolteon, so I at LEAST wanted Thundershock. The egg never hatched while I was playing though. Ho hum.

I ended up not having a save file, so I just started a new game, I ended up catching a bunch of Pokemon and grinding a lot, so I already have my possible full game team. I saved right after beating Pryce, I also traded with Silver using TBG-Dual to evolve some Pokemon. My Pokemon's levels are extremely high for this part of the game.
